AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTHERN INDIANA
225 PM EST SAT APR 10 1999

SORRY FOR THE LATE AND BRIEF AFD...BEEN DEALING WITH CRS.

ETA AND NGM IN GOOD AGREEMENT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING WITH BRINGING
LOW EASTWARD INTO NORTHERN OHIO. SEVERE THREAT LOOKS QUITE SMALL IN
IWX CWA...WILL NOT MENTION STRONG OR SEVERE IN IWX ZONES.
ELEVATED GENERAL THUNDER IS STILL A GOOD BET THOUGH.

LOW MOVES ON BY TOMORROW KEEPING US COOL AND SHOWERY. WRAP-AROUND
MOISTURE TOMORROW NIGHT WILL CONTINUE THE SCATTERED SHOWERS.
THICKNESSES AND 850 TEMPS INDICATE A FEW FLAKES OF SNOW COULD MIX IN
WITH THE SHOWERS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT BUT ITS NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO
WARRANT DEPRESSING THE PUBLIC BY MENTIONING IT IN THE FORECAST.

MONDAY WILL CONTINUE COOL AND CLOUDY AS LOW PRESSURE SPINS TO OUR
NORTHEAST AND HIGH PRESSURE SETTLES DOWN INTO THE UPPER PLAINS.

PREFER COOLER FAN/FMR TEMPS OVER FWC.
